Hi all,

So I installed PC-BSD and everything went just fine (network not yet installed), now I wanted to try it out a bit, but i noticed that after about 3 minutes the keyboard just stops working, I can't type anything anymore. Wat can I do to fix this?

thanks in advance

Mouse sometimes gets stuck for a little moment but appart from that it works. Keyboard works at first but stops working soon, Mouse continues working.

On my thinkpad keyboard works just fine- maybe there is some problem with keyboard repeat speed- can you use your keyboard in terminal window?

It does seem to me that the mouse problems start at the same time as the keaboard stops working (about 2-3 min) after start.

I did try konsole, and in there the problem is the same. Anything else to try?

Sorry again, I guess I'm too stupid.

So I types unset acpi_load at the boot propmpt and pressed enter.

Then it said boot: again. What do I have to do then to actually boot into PC-BSD?

boot command should boot kernel.
